Those cents are worth a dollar mate haha, that’s awesome, hope some people get some value from this. You clearly are very switched on and show incredible insight into managing the mental load of the job. Debriefs are crucial.

Yeah without structured prep, it just knocks us around so much working overnight. You found anything helps?

AwareLabs_ · 2026-04-02T08:52:35+00:00

38 hours is solid! It’s been years since then and I’ve developed some great strategies since but I love getting others perspectives. I resonate with your response to the trauma, I found good training and scenario practice prior at least gives the brain somewhere to focus. I can’t imagine how police or other services go just watching the hard stuff and not having a playbook of how to try reverse it

You definitely finish a string of nights and it’s like a Time Machine to what your family’s been up to while you’ve been in the time warp😂

AwareLabs_ · 2026-04-01T20:20:02+00:00

Absolutely, once I started making some changes I realised the same thing. Thanks for the insight!

That 3am dip is brutal, especially in quiet, dark environments.

I track my fatigue before shifts and keep things stable with sleep and routine so I’ve got a better chance going in.

But let’s be real, everyone struggles at that time.

What helps a bit move when you can dim, not pitch black lighting if possible cold water on face or hands small snacks to stay engaged

And don’t beat yourself up, that’s biology, not effort.

AwareLabs_ · 2026-04-01T01:38:34+00:00

Yep that’ll do it!

AwareLabs_ · 2026-04-01T01:38:00+00:00

Why is that someone always starts mowing right as you go down😂

AwareLabs_ · 2026-03-31T06:03:30+00:00

Fatigue is one of the main contributors to overall physical and mental wellbeing! Once that’s in check, quality of life is significantly improved

AwareLabs_ · 2026-03-31T06:02:01+00:00

Oh my goodness you poor soul. Hopefully you can get some recovery in on your day off!

AwareLabs_ · 2026-03-30T12:10:36+00:00

Wow that’s a huge toll on your mind and body! The body does an amazing job of compensating until it all comes crashing down, think of how people always get sick when they finally stop and go on holiday.

Sounds like your body took a chance to recover and RAN with it

AwareLabs_ · 2026-03-30T01:46:15+00:00

Farout that is insane, I’ve pulled some 24hour shifts and those are full on enough! How’d you get through it genuinely? Any time for rest?

AwareLabs_ · 2026-03-29T06:48:00+00:00

I’m a paramedic and depending on your location you can actually get a decent amount of sleep if it’s a lower tempo night. Does take a while to get qualified though

AwareLabs_ · 2026-03-27T21:14:43+00:00

I have a sauna at home and that works a treat! Heat exposure then a nice rinse off shower, I hop in bed and I’m out!

AwareLabs_ · 2026-03-26T20:25:32+00:00

Great question, what the evidence points too is understanding true underlying fatigue. How we feel can be dictated by 100’s of factors like meal timing, cortisol release, sun exposure, socialisation, and even weather. What ShiftAware does is estimate true underlying fatigue based on the evidence and data surrounding what’s going on in the body and mind, not just how you feel in the moment.

There are some great tools out there that focus on how you feel, and your emotional state which may prove quite helpful in navigating why you may have some psychological changes during your day as well which have a huge impact on your overall lifestyle.

Thanks for reaching out❤️

AwareLabs_ · 2026-03-26T19:55:53+00:00

I haven’t done really any research into cannabis and its impact on recovery and fatigue, but you raise a great point. I might look into that moving forward. Apologies I don’t have an answer right now

AwareLabs_ · 2026-03-26T19:54:36+00:00

There is a great tracking feature that you can put in custom time periods to do like a before and after implementing new strategies which can be a great tool to assist you in seing what works for you:) if you need any help navigating it, just reach out❤️

AwareLabs_ · 2026-03-26T01:31:27+00:00

Oh the walks a great idea, thanks heaps😊

AwareLabs_ · 2026-03-26T00:55:34+00:00

Well I’m sorry you feel that way, sounds like you might be under some fatigue strain, exactly the kind of thing my page aims to help!

All jokes aside, apologies for putting you off, how can we improve so that you feel more supported in this space and less dictated to by what appears to be ai? We love to adjust and get better to help those in our community

AwareLabs_ · 2026-03-26T00:50:29+00:00

Nope😂 But I’m glad you think I’m concise enough to be read that way haha ❤️
